Nothing says romance like Milk Chocolate Valentine’s Pizza!
Now this is a pizza!
I wish I could take credit. The brilliant idea for chocolate pizza comes from a CNY company that made its mark on America’s tastebuds about three decades ago. What began as a small local business has since grown by leaps and bounds! This unique confection is now found in retail locations all across the country.
And every year around this time in my belly!
The Chocolate Pizza Company uses creamy gourmet chocolate combined with homemade English toffee and is shaped into a pizza.
It can be topped with all sorts of things:
- Nuts
- M&M’s
- Sprinkles
- PB Cups
- Pretzels
The list could go on forever…
And then it’s presented in – you guessed it – a pizza delivery box. How cute is that?
I mean, come on!? This is one of those -“Why didn’t I think of that?”
I’m singing its praises but this is not a sponsored post. The recipe I’m using is mine, although the ‘pizza’ concept is theirs.
To begin, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (making sure no water comes in contact with the chocolate), then pour it into a 10″ springform pan making sure the chocolate spreads evenly in the pan.
From there, it’s all about the toppings.
I went with a sweet and salty mix…pretzels, Valentine colored M&M’s, sprinkles and cinnamon hearts.
Once you’re satisfied with the amount of toppings, melt white chocolate wafers (using the same double boiler method as the milk chocolate) and drizzle over everything.
Set aside in a cool area for a couple of hours or in the refrigerator for half an hour until firm.
Of course I had to make a pizza for my guy.
It’s our language of love!
Buon Appetito!
